In the Jewish tradition, apples are paired with honey, and the two are served together in early autumn to celebrate Rosh Hashanah, the new year. There’s a underlying meaning—honey and apples symbolizes life’s sweetness—but the two also make for a wildly delicious and seasonally appropriate flavor pairing. Whether you’re honoring the holiday or simply celebrating the season, here are five honey-apple creations from around the web that are sure to brighten up your day when they come out of the oven.
